Summary: This is a fun book for middle elementary aged children that tells them interesting, random facts about what happens every 60 seconds on earth.
Extension Activity: Since this book is filled with such fun facts about our earth, I would continue this into an art project where the kids would make an earth out of a Styrofoam ball and from there they would each write one interesting fact that happens every 60 seconds and then as a class we would hang our globes up.
